All caught up? Great. That brings us to a Billboard.com report today, in which Portner teases a bit more about the project in question. "This year, we got to a place where we can start doing demos and nailing all the sounds down, while we're at home," he told Billboard.com. "It's something new for all of us. It's been a work-as-we-go process." Portner again refers to the thing as a "visual record."

That's all for "Animal Collective Non-News" today, folks. Tune in tomorrow for a non-update on the AC box set that's been "due to arrive soon" for approximately 55 years now. Or, hell, have it today: according to a late October post on label Catsup Plate's website, "All we can say is that it's coming."
